The International Montessori School of Beijing

MSB is located in Chaoyang District, Beijing at Building No. 8, 2A Xiang Jiang Bei Lu (Xiangjiang Beilu). The school site and campus pages note it sits in a villa/residential area on the edge of Chaoyang (near the Chaoyang–Shunyi junction), with standard road access and on-site campus facilities; families typically travel by car or school bus.

MSB runs a full-age programme from early years to secondary: Little Bees (6–24 months), toddler/infant and preschool (roughly 18 months–6 years), elementary (Grades 1–6 / ages ~6–12) and middle/high school through Year 12. The site lists specific pages for each stage and fee bands up to Grade 11–12.

The International Montessori School of Beijing is a co-educational day school (no boarding is advertised on the school site). It is operated as an international school and appears under the Wisdom International Education Group umbrella.

MSB publishes a student-support programme that includes EAL (English as an Additional Language), reading and library support, classroom-level differentiated support, one-to-one and small-group learning support, psychological/behavioural assessment and, where required, full-time shadowing; some supports (for example individualized IEP tutoring or additional staff) may carry extra fees. The admissions policy notes trial/assessment periods for applicants with additional needs.

MSB does not state an affiliation to a single national school system; it identifies as an international school in Beijing and is part of Wisdom International Education Group. In 2025 the school also announced a partnership to develop an American-style high school pathway with a California school district (Placentia‑Yorba Linda USD).

The school website does not indicate any religious affiliation; programme and policy pages present MSB as a non‑religious, international institution.

MSB publishes an academic calendar with term dates, school events and holiday periods but does not publish standard daily start/end times on its public pages; parents are directed to the admissions or contact team for operational details. Office/contact information and the calendar are available on the site.

MSB operates an optional school-bus service run in partnership with Beijing BAIC Taxi Group (北京北汽出租汽车集团). Routes and stops are set according to demand and are adjusted annually; the school warns it may not be able to serve addresses far outside regular routes and that mid‑year moves can affect continued eligibility. For route details and booking the site links a bus-service document and gives a bus email (busservices@msb.edu.cn) and a contact (Joseph) via the main switchboard.

Application fee, placement deposit and first‑year one‑off charges

- Placement / enrolment (seat) deposit (one‑time): RMB 20,000. This deposit is held by the school while the student is enrolled and is refundable subject to the school's withdrawal and refund policy and after deduction of any outstanding fees or unreturned school property. The school requires the deposit at acceptance to secure a place.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school publishes annual tuition rates and requires payment to secure enrollment; parents must provide written confirmation and pay the placement deposit within the timeframe stated in the offer (the school specifies a 10 working‑day deadline for deposit on acceptance). The school's admission documentation confirms the deposit requirement and refund treatment.

- General payment terms reported for MSB include: all fees payable in RMB; accepted payment channels include bank transfer, UnionPay card payments and domestic card options. International bank transfers are possible but funds must be credited in RMB; late payment surcharges (commonly reported) may apply — examples in public fee summaries cite a 2% per month surcharge on overdue fees. Specific invoice due dates, installment plans (if any), and banking details are provided on the school's billing/invoice documents.

Boarding / accommodation

- Boarding is not applicable. MSB describes campus buildings as infant/toddler, Early Childhood, Elementary and Middle/High teaching facilities and lists no dormitory or boarding accommodation. MSB operates as a day school with optional services (lunch, bus) for families.

Other costs and optional services

- Lunch services: available as an optional paid service; the school operates a staffed lunch programme and provides details/pricing through its lunch service documentation.

- School bus (transport): MSB offers contracted school‑bus services; published summaries and school profiles show annual bus fees in a range (examples reported around RMB 11,200 to RMB 16,900 per year depending on route). Exact route fees and invoicing are handled by the bus service administration.

- Materials, textbooks, devices and extracurriculars: these are additional to tuition. Parents should budget separately for items such as specific learning materials, optional clubs/activities, field‑trips, and any required devices for older students; the school lists extracurricular programmes and supplies requirements but does not publish a single combined charge for these items in the public fee summary.

- Uniforms: the school's public pages describe student life and routines; a standard uniform charge is not given in the public fee summary. Parents should budget for uniform purchase(s) and replacements as applicable.

Refund information

- The placement (seat) deposit of RMB 20,000 is refundable. Refunds of the deposit and any other paid fees are subject to the school's withdrawal and refund policy; the school states the deposit will be refunded (after deducting outstanding charges such as unpaid tuition, lunch, bus fees or unreturned school property) and that the deposit is not invoiced (receipt is issued and must be returned before refund processing). The school's admissions policy notes the school may withhold refunds where required by the withdrawal policy.

Fee payment options (methods commonly accepted)

- Bank transfer (domestic and international transfers allowed but funds must be credited in RMB; include student name and invoice number as payment reference).

- Card payments via UnionPay (debit/credit). Public fee information indicates card transactions may incur bank/processing fees.

- Cash or in‑person payment may be accepted per school billing instructions.
